Software Engineer - LLM Infrastructure
Swoop Technologies is seeking a Software Engineer to develop, maintain, and scale its self-hosted, custom-tuned LLM for understanding and representing complex system interactions. This role involves expanding LLM capabilities, optimizing inference engine architecture, and ensuring high availability of services within a Kubernetes environment. The position is hybrid, requiring in-office work 3+ days per week in Minneapolis/St. Paul or Washington, DC.
Swoop Technologies has a mission to organize and make accessible the world’s military and critical infrastructure. We are building a distributed operating system, SwoopOS, that decomposes the world’s equipment into a distributed robotic embodiment upon which a new generation of distributed systems, autonomous systems, and agentic AI can be built and deployed using our SDK, Valhalla, and operated via our browser, Surf. Imagine the world’s equipment - consisting of the electrical grid, communications architectures, manufacturing facilities, and militaries as a trapped supply of inputs possessing the potential to ensure Western military advantage, sovereign control of economically competitive manufacturing capacity, or the creation of a grid that fosters energy dominance. Swoop is liberating these trapped assets, allowing them to contribute to the world’s future as a series of building blocks to be combined at the speed of software, limited by only the hard constraints of physics and the soft constraints of safety. That is what Swoop is building. Not in the data center or cloud or edge on-premise computing node. In the physical world. This is a hybrid position that requires someone based in Minneapolis/St. Paul OR Washington, DC who can work in-office 3+ days per week
Swoop's operating system challenges many paradigms defining a scalable API. Management, security, and interoperability each will be re-imaged in how Swoop OS's expose interfaces to inputs and outputs within the stack. In this role, you will develop, maintain, and scale Swoop's self-hosted, custom-tuned LLM. A key objective is advancing how the model understands and represents complex system interactions, providing context-aware insights into system behavior, dependencies, and operational dynamics. You will enable users to ask natural, unconstrained questions about their infrastructure and systems, receiving precise, insight-driven responses. The ultimate goal is to accelerate decision making and drive greater autonomy across distributed infrastructure powered by Swoop OS.
